Downstairs, he found that the civilians in the inn were hurrying to take care of their bags, and it seemed that Rogers was right, as soon as it was dark, they were about to break out of the city.

"It's bizarre." Wang Wenyuan couldn't help sighing, and said in his heart that he hoped it wasn't the secret passage under the church, otherwise, he would be dead.

After the sunset completely disappeared over the horizon, the small open space in front of the inn was already crowded with all kinds of people, and at this time, the fatigue and fear on their faces disappeared, replaced by the joy of the rest of their lives and the yearning for a better life.

After a while, Rogers and two others came to the front of the crowd, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and stood side by side.

Wang Wenyuan subconsciously raised his head and found that one of them was a middle-aged woman in ragged clothes around forty years old, and the other was a white-haired and pale old man; In addition, he was keenly aware of some details, that is: the middle-aged woman and Rogers were very close, as if they were a couple, and there was a slight strangeness in the old man's expression, as if he had encountered something urgent and difficult to do.

"There's fraud here." Wang Wenyuan deliberately retreated to the back of the team, intending to observe and make a decision.

"Dear friends, according to the latest war report: the Blackshirts have suffered a crushing defeat both inside and outside the city, and are no longer able to launch a large-scale attack, but they still resist stubbornly and refuse to surrender. Next, please bring your luggage and belongings and head to the southwest of the city. Rogers spoke loudly, his words full of excitement.

As soon as he finished speaking, the residents in front of the inn could not wait to set off, and at the same time, the residents of other neighborhoods also passed by in turn, and at a cursory glance, they were also walking in the southwest direction of the city.

"Could it be that the Blackshirts are really defeated?" Wang Wenyuan couldn't believe it, if it was said that the Fifth Army Corps attacking the east of the city was defeated, it still had some credibility, but the Fourth Army Corps attacking the west and south of the city could never fail, first of all, it was an ace army, and its weapons and equipment and combat experience were top-notch, and the Fourth Army Corps was good at mountain warfare, and fighting Kohima was its strong point.

"Friend, is there anything you can help with?" Just as he was thinking, a gentle middle-aged male voice sounded in his ears.

Raising his head, Wang Wenyuan felt a little surprised, the person who came was none other than the man in white he rescued before.

"No, there isn't." Wang Wenyuan replied politely, and then walked towards the northwest of the city.

"Coincidentally, we're all the way." The man in white smiled and followed.

"What do you think of Rogers?" Wang Wenyuan saw that he was a good person to deal with, so he asked.

"People are very good, but as a big businessman, sometimes I have to do something that goes against my heart." The man in white did not hesitate and talked eloquently.

"For example?" Wang Wenyuan saw that he knew a lot, so he planned to put some words out of his mouth.

"For example, tonight he led civilians to the southwest of the city to secretly go out of the city, in fact, to be cannon fodder for the guerrillas." The corners of the man in white's mouth raised a slight arc, and then dropped a "bombshell".

"In the dark passage in the northwest of the city, the Blackshirts are also heavily armed, I'm right." Wang Wenyuan pretended to think for a while, and then asked.

"Well, yes, but aren't the chances of surviving comparatively better?" The man in white looked at him carefully for a while and whispered.

"Tell me, your true identity." Wang Wenyuan turned his head sharply, as if he remembered something.

"Deacon of Songxin Hall in Bangladesh, Shi Chang'an." The man stopped and held out his hand.

"Seville Silver Mining Company Dispatch Assistant, Wang Wenyuan." He did not slack off and shook hands with Shi Changan.

******

On the other side, Gu Yuexi raised her head to the surface and found that the blackshirt soldiers around her were extremely vigilant, as if they were doing some top-secret work.

As for why she appeared in the water, it can be summed up in a nutshell: after taking the woman safely to the city of Kohima, the woman gave her a sketch of an underground tunnel, and told her that there was a certain path in the underground tunnel, which could lead to the meandering of the Yang, but part of the road had been flooded by the river.

Thinking that in order to see Gugrano as soon as possible, plus her water nature was okay, Gu Yuexi did not hesitate, and immediately decided to choose this path.

Looking at the sudden arrival of a large number of Blackshirt soldiers in front of her, she couldn't help muttering, after all, she and the women were on their way back to Kohima, and after arriving in Kohima, they only encountered a few scattered Blackshirt deserters, and the street fighting in the city she expected did not happen, so she watched the women reunite with her husband from a distance, and then embarked on her own journey again.

And now the mass appearance of the Blackshirts, with their makeshift fortifications, portends something?

Isn't it, the so-called indulgence plan executed by the old slippery head of Kozit?

Thinking of this, Gu Yuexi's heart rose to her throat, she thought that she could avoid a battle of swords and swords, but she knew that she was still thinking too optimistically.

After thinking about it for a moment, she decided to wait and see before deciding how to fight her way out of the encirclement.

In between the blackshirt soldiers next to her, she calmed down, aimed at a raised rock wall in the direction of the side of her head, and pulled the trigger.

The air in the grappling hook sent her into the air in an instant, and with the faint light of the Blackshirts' fortifications, she first grabbed a rusty iron ring at the edge of the rock wall, then did two somersaults, and finally flashed into a pitch-black cavern two meters square.

However, before she could catch her breath, she felt a chill in her neck, and then a strong fragrance of flowers penetrated her nostrils.

"Liyuer?" In a hurry, Gu Yuexi whispered and speculated about the reason why she came here.

"Be honest, don't try to play tricks." In the next second, an extremely cold young female voice without temperature suddenly sounded in her ears.

Gu Yuexi's heart was shocked, and she inexplicably remembered the scene when she met Wang Wenyuan for the first time, and at this moment, he had no news, and she became him.

But at the same time, she was also a little curious, and said that the woman behind her was sacred, and why was she so similar?

But before she could guess, the sharp dagger cut through her snow-white and delicate skin, and then, a strong pain spread throughout her body, and she could even glimpse it with the afterglow of her eyes, red blood droplets were slowly dripping, staining her white clothes.

The current situation is very passive, the only thing you can do is to calm down, if you choose to do it brutely, even if you win, you will be stabbed a few times, it is inevitable.

"Yes, it's really Gu Xiaomei." Just when she couldn't hold on, she only felt that her neck was loose, thinking that it must be the person behind her, and put down the knife.

Turning around, Gu Yuexi finally saw the woman's appearance clearly, she was slightly older than herself, about twenty-eight or nineteen years old, the standard goose egg face was painted with slightly more colorful makeup, and then matched with willow leaf-like eyebrows, long red phoenix eyes, and crimson lips, giving people a charming and bewitching image.

"Hmph, in one sentence, the knife was moved, this is the first time I have seen such a person." Gu Yuexi couldn't help complaining, and at the same time touched the wound on her neck with her fingertips, and found that the wound was very shallow, except for a little pain, it was fine.

"Little sister doesn't know, a person's face can be disguised, but her bones can never change." The woman wiped off a little of the blood from the tip of the knife, then put the dagger back in her inner pocket.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Gu Yuexi didn't plan to talk nonsense with her, but she couldn't get out, so she had to bite the bullet and ask.

The woman didn't answer her question, but said to herself: "I heard that the little sister wants to find Gugrano, and today I finally got my wish." ”

"What do you mean?" Gu Yuexi was surprised not by the meaning of the woman's words, but by surprise: she knew her purpose and the trajectory of her activities.

"Little sister, take a look, he's going to show up." The woman turned up the light on her body a few minutes and motioned for her to look in the direction of 11 o'clock.

Gu Yuexi then squatted down and looked at the place with difficulty.

That place was originally the place where several small roads intersected, but who knows that after the backflow of the dark river, a lake was formed several meters deep, and then the Blackshirts transformed the lake to form a simple dock.

At this time, the plank road of the wharf was full of soldiers wearing black military uniforms with loaded guns, and among the soldiers, there were also several saints dressed in purple, and the guys led by were short and fat, very similar to the high priest Fei Qu and Zan seen in the "dream".

******

"Report, High Priest, General Couzit and Mr. Gugrano have arrived." A supreme saint ran to Fei Qu Jianzan's side panting, and whispered.

"This old thing has a pretty big shelf, who do you look down on?" Fei Qu and Zan put the jade ball in his hand into his pocket, and his words were full of unhappiness.

"What the high priest said is very true, you see that he looks like a villain, and he is not stained with the light of General Kozit?" His lieutenant, with a flattering look, immediately chimed in.

"Alright, let's go and meet them, we are currently in a weak position in the court, and we must not be caught by those dogs." Fei Qu Jianzan gritted his teeth, turned around, and walked towards a prefabricated house not far away.

A short time later, a white-haired old man in a black military uniform and an old man with a cane and a plaid shirt came slowly outside the house, presumably Cozit and Gugrano.

"Your Excellency, according to tradition, shouldn't your court envoys stand in line outside the door and bow down to greet your guests?" Gugrano glanced around and asked in a rather disgruntled tone.

"Yes, but he is the high priest, and although his power is long gone, there is still a trace of majesty, and I think there will be a special case." Kozit lowered his head and whispered.

"No, the emperor's secret letter to me didn't mention this." Gugrano's face flashed with anger and he slammed his cane into the ground.

"We all serve Your Majesty, and it is better to be sincerely united." Knowing that he was currently a "big celebrity" in the eyes of Mojelli, Kozit did not dare to criticize him, so he had to try his best to dissuade him.

"Don't take it as an example." Gugrano grimaced, put aside a cruel word, and walked briskly forward.

Who knew that before he could enter the house, he saw Fei Qu and Zan walking out of the house slightly respectfully, and then bowed slightly.

"The high priest doesn't come out early or late, but when I go in, come out, what do you want to do?" Gugrano stood in the doorway, a little embarrassed, his face already full of anger.

"Don't do anything, just do what you do." Fei Qu and Zan replied with a smile, and then said: "It's a pity that the old gentleman did not follow the rules, and His Majesty once mentioned that guests should wear suits to attend the ceremony. ”
